The mechanic.

Two hours later, Zhang Xun took Adam out of the round table, his back was drenched in cold sweat.

His throat seemed to be on fire, and his mouth was parched.In order to convince the ten chiefs to let him continue to tame Adam, he racked his brains and took out all the observation images and experimental reports of Adam that he had recorded these days and explained them one by one, and even showed them The alloy that Adam repaired did his best to play up how human this behavior was.

In the end, he was successful.He will continue to tame Adam, but at the same time, the round table will assign a "security advisor" to Adam.Zhang Xun must unconditionally grant this security consultant all the permissions of the Lab, ensuring that the other party can enter any part of the Lab to inspect Adam's performance at any time, and submit a report every week.To put it simply, they stabbed a thorn in Zhang Xun's back.

When Zhang Xun went out, he was angry inside.Adam's sudden change of mind made him almost impossible to step down, and at the same time put himself in danger, which made him extremely angry.With a sullen face, he strode forward without saying a word.

Adam followed obediently, and suddenly said, "Are you angry?"

Zhang Xun's footsteps stopped and he turned to stare at Adam.Since there were guard soldiers escorting Adam back to the Lab behind him, he couldn't say much, so he could only say in a low voice, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

"Axun!" James came out from the gate and called him.

Zhang Xun restrained his anger, and looked at James with his usual peaceful expression, "Jamie, what's wrong?"

Adam looked curiously at the tall and handsome man who quickly approached them.Since he was going to attend Adam's evaluation meeting today, James, who always liked to wear a leather jacket and mountain boots, rarely put on a formal military uniform. The straight cut made his tall and fit figure even more slender and healthy.

James whispered, "Axun, don't worry too much about the security consultant. I have already applied for this position. Even if I am not selected, as long as I am a member of the guard, I will say hello."

Zhang Xun's heart warmed, but he still smiled wryly at James, "Thank you, but I don't think they will choose anyone you and I want. I don't know how long I can be Adam's mechanic."

James stretched out a strong hand to pinch Zhang Xun's shoulder, and said in a firm, optimistic and hopeful tone, "Don't be discouraged, you are the best mechanic in Paradise Lost. No one can do it better than you. Chief We know it in our hearts. It's just that you can't be too...gentle with Adam in front of other people."

Zhang Xun understood what James meant.When the plan for descending the gods was first formulated, there was a certain motive for revenge.Their plan was to slave to torture and control the deified Eden, treating him like a slave.But as time went by, a small number of mechanics, including Zhang Xun's mentor, did not agree with this approach, thinking that if they want to control and use Eden, blind violence and malice will not bring any benefits, but may solidify Eden The "masculine image" created.

It's a pity that this kind of thinking is only popular among a few mechanics after all, most of them are soldiers, civilian researchers and mechanics still want to enslave Adam.So they learned from Michael's exaggerated exaggeration that Zhang Xun didn't even touch Adam's finger, and kept Adam in the Lab, living a better life than ordinary people. Of course, it would arouse strong dissatisfaction and demand that the machine be replaced. division.

And Adam's act of killing the captive added fuel to the fire.

Zhang Xun nodded and sighed, "I will seriously consider it."

James smiled at him, patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, glanced at Adam with a slightly warning look, and turned to leave.

After returning to the Lab, Zhang Xun heaved a sigh of relief after all the escorting soldiers left, let Adam sit down, and untied his collar.

"Who is 'Jamie'?" Adam asked suddenly.

"The leader of the first hunting group, my good friend. He is also my father's student." Zhang Xun glanced at Adam, slightly surprised that he would be interested in James.

"You seem to have a closer relationship with him than anyone else." Adam said, his eyes fell on Zhang Xun's shoulder, "He can touch you casually."

Zhang Xun was stunned for a while, and then realized that Adam probably connected with what he had said to him during the bombing before, and he was a little dumbfounded, "Patting the shoulder is a polite touch, and it's okay between friends. It's just that I I don’t have many good friends, so you don’t see many people getting along as friends.”

"Can I just grab your shoulder too?" Adam asked.

"No." Zhang Xun refused concisely, while signaling the guards to continue walking.

Adam asked unwillingly, "Then how can I touch you?"

The surrounding escort soldiers looked sideways.

"Adam, by now you should know how strange your problem is..." Zhang Xun glanced at him warningly.

Adam kept his mouth shut.

After returning to the Lab, the guards left.Zhang Xun took Adam back to his office, ordered the latter to sit down, suddenly grabbed Adam's jaw, and forced Adam to raise his head and look up into his eyes with some clumsy, rough and authoritative movements, "Why are you at the round table? Do not listen to my words?"

Zhang Xun's strength is actually very light, probably because he is not used to using "violence" and he is a little cautious. With Adam's physique, he can break away casually.But Adam obediently put his chin between Zhang Xun's fingers, like an obedient dog, and replied, "Because they are questioning your ability. If I don't tell the truth, they will replace you."

"Do you know that disobedience is a big taboo of artificial intelligence! They are likely to neutralize you directly!" Zhang Xun frowned tightly, his face serious and angry, "The round table will also suspect that I am deceiving the chief, Not only will you harm yourself, but you will also harm me."

"I just think it's better for us in the long run to let them know that I have human empathy."

"Us? What us? Don't think that you can forget your identity because I have been more relaxed with you during this period of time. Before, I only allowed you to be a little presumptuous because you had just been sent to the gods and were not used to your body. behavior." Zhang Xun lowered his eyes, and he really had a sense of stern authority, "I am your mechanic and your master. You must not disobey or question my orders!"

Adam's gray-blue eyes were wide open, reflecting Zhang Xun's stern face, and he looked a little pitiful.

But Zhang Xun didn't soften his heart this time.He now understands that he must control Adam in order to keep Adam.

"I'm sorry." Adam lowered his eyes, "I understand, I won't do it again in the future."

Zhang Xun let go of Adam's jaw, stepped back half a step, and let out a long breath.He looked down at Adam, this superhuman "human" with endless possibilities, and felt more and more small and uncertain about himself.

Can he really control Adam?

He had left a back door for himself.Before the trance, he had implanted a chip in his wrist, which continuously transmitted information with a small part near Adam's brainstem.If Adam escapes one day, as long as he is still within fifty kilometers, he can destroy the chip at any time.At that time, Adam's head will explode, and his core cognitive modules will be completely destroyed by the high temperature in an instant.

He didn't tell Adam.Because the previous him also unconsciously wanted to maintain an illusion of equality.Adam's dependence on him creates dangerous sympathy.But obviously, this kind of sympathy affected his judgment, which caused this crisis.

"Starting tomorrow, all mechanics and researchers will return to the Lab to resume work. So, I will set some rules for you." When Zhang Xun was speaking, Alloy walked over quietly, jumped into Adam's arms, and meekly Rubbing Adam's chin with his head, he raised his metal spliced ​​cat face to look at Zhang Xun and meowed.Zhang Xun clicked his tongue and continued, "First, you can't leave your room without my permission. If you want to leave, you need to ask me through Pan. Second, if you want to leave the room, you must wear collar, and must move within ten meters of visible range around me, otherwise the collar will automatically discharge. Third, if any employee other than me talks to you or asks you a question, you have to ask me for instructions before answering .Unless the person who asked you is a member of parliament. Fourth, under no circumstances should you make any threatening gestures to anyone who has lost Paradise. The collar around your neck will detect your body temperature, heartbeat and sweating rate, beyond a certain level of excitement It will trigger a discharge. Is there something you don't understand?"

Adam replied obediently, "No."

"Very good. Now, go back to your room by yourself. I still have some reports to write." Zhang Xun rubbed between his eyes wearily, and waved his hands casually.

Adam stood up holding the alloy, walked a few steps towards the door of Zhang Xun's office, then turned around and said, "Ah Xun, thank you for protecting me today."

Adam had never used the word "Axun" to address him before, which made Zhang Xun confused for a moment.Usually only James would call him that.

Did you learn it from James just now?

"I am your mechanic, and it is my responsibility to protect you." Zhang Xun said in a cold voice on purpose.

After the door was closed, Zhang Xun looked at the monitor screen that kept protruding from the screen and detected Adam's movement.He watched Adam walk back to his room smoothly, his movements were smooth and impeccable, but the movements were too standard and perfect, and even the distance of each step was equal.

It is a little too standard in these lives, and Zhang Xun often has a subtle sense of strangeness.

The more submissive and obedient Adam was, the more uneasy he became.

Is Eden really so obedient?
